Our baby.
We made a young mistake, now there’s a life in you.
Now we went from, “Should we date?”, to do I see a wife in you.
No matter what, I’m spending the rest of my life with you.
See, I’m not like the typical other guys.
I’m not going to hide, the only option for us I see is to try.
I’m scared out of my mind and worried, I can’t lie.
My mind has been feeling kind of crowded.
I’v been doing my best, wondering if your proud, I doubt it.
And that’s the worst feeling in the world but I can’t remember a day I have spent with out it.
Don’t even say abortion, your not killing our child in you.
Believe it or not, I doubt you noticed, but that’s my child too.
What we know now, I wish we would have knew.
So we wouldn’t be like this.
Remember the old days? That’s all I miss.
But now, only for our child, we need to create a beautiful bliss.
I don’t care what you say, I’m going to be the dad I never had.
I’m not leaving you or this child, you better be glad!
Most guys would run, I’m staying, baby don’t be sad.
Who’s home is going to be our kids home?
And who’s making sure that our baby is never alone?
And don’t give me that attitude or give me some tone.
I know you had other plans.
Now your skipping movies and friends just to get birth scans.
We need to be mature as we can.
I’m not going to let our child suffer like me.
Lets keep its eyes closed we can’t let it see.
To experience a world frozen over is unnecessary.
I know t his all happened unexpectedly.
Things turned out for the worst, but I promised you the best of me.
This kills me, and takes away from me, but I promise you the rest of me.
You have my full devotion.
Let go of that alcohol, because our baby gets a portion.
Stop these arguments, stop the commotion.
I know I’m not the one carrying the child but our pain weights out.
Its my fault, I’m turning it into a success, lets see how it plays out.
Just promise to do your best so your commitment never fades out.
We have to teach our baby that it doesn’t deserve anything it doesn’t earn.
And that from every single failure there is a lesson to learn.
And not every single loss is another reason to yearn.
Congratulations! Both the poem and the baby. So awesome of you to not want to give up on the whole situation, most people run away from parenthood.
Some of it was… not great.
The rest, though, was brilliant.
My favorite line was “Lets keep its eyes closed we can’t let it see.”
Oh, gratz. :love:
